convincing
Hard to doubt
Convincing describes something that produces belief or agreement.
A convincing argument persuades you; a convincing performance makes you believe the character.
The word often implies overcoming initial doubt: The evidence was convincing enough to change my mind.
A convincing victory is decisive, leaving no question about the outcome.
